Planet77 was founded in 2017 by a group of gaming industry veterans who had one frustration in common: the best international casino platforms weren't built for Malaysian players. Payment methods were foreign, support was often in English only, and withdrawal times stretched into days. The team decided to fix that — and Planet77 was born.
Starting from a modest office in Kuala Lumpur with a core team of 12, Planet77 grew steadily by doing the basics exceptionally well. We integrated local payment rails like FPX and DuitNow before most of our competitors even considered it. We hired Bahasa Melayu and Chinese-speaking support agents from day one. And we built our game library around what Malaysian players actually want to play — live baccarat, high-RTP slots, and competitive football odds covering the EPL, Liga Super Malaysia, and international tournaments.

By 2020, Planet77 had crossed the 500,000 registered player milestone. The platform expanded its sportsbook to include UFC, esports, and virtual sports alongside the football markets that had driven early growth. A dedicated mobile experience was launched following player feedback from users across Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, and Shah Alam — who told us they needed something faster and lighter than a full desktop browser.
Today, Planet77 serves over 820,000 registered players across Malaysia and processes MYR 4.2 million in daily payouts. Our game catalogue has grown to more than 3,500 titles from world-class providers including Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Microgaming, and Playtech. We remain privately owned, operationally independent, and laser-focused on the Malaysian market — which is both our home and our passion.
Responsible gambling has always been a non-negotiable pillar of how we operate. Planet77 enforces a strict 21+ age policy, provides real self-exclusion tools, deposit limit controls, and session reminders — not because we are required to, but because we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every player on our platform.
